The Coffee House

[Fujidave]

Got to say a thank you to Real Madrid, and a Big Thank you to Goal scorer Gareth Bale. As I picked up my winnings and just treated my self. Plus I got a Free shutter release cable.

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. 60F this morning but scheduled to hit 70F by the afternoon. Gary received some precipitation during the night. Most likely not measurable, but definitely wet. The plants are happy. The backyard and patio are wet but the front driveway is dry. Go figure.

My yard is happy Gary. I had spread close to a 1/2 ton of fertilizer on the yards about a month ago, after the rains of late, it must have finally hit the root level, because it is "really" green today, and seems like it jumped a couple inches in height.

Question for everyone.

If someone says, "I'll get this to you shortly," how long of a time does that mean?

I've had people say shortly and get it to me within an hour, and I've had people say shortly and get it to me within a few days. I find myself using that phrase more and more now, but I want to make sure I'm within the word's definition and acceptable spectrum of time.

If I was saying it will be with you shortly, in my mind I`d be thinking two days at the most.

That means today for me, Wade.

On the ground in denver. Time to book it to Cheyenne.

Sorta depends on what they're gonna give you. If it is sometime you need to finish the project ... or your portion of the project ... I would bug them (nicely) until you get it (like stand over their desk tapping you foot while playing Crush).

Ended up getting everything sorted, and then saw a baseball game in the new ball park here in Hartford. I’d upload some photos but the Flickr gods don’t give you the B.B. code option from their app.

Getting ready to bunk down. Headed to Denver at 5:45 via Detroit.

To post from your phone, you need to sign into Flickr in the phone's web browser. You have to choose "show full site" or "show desktop site" or something like that... I use Chrome and it works. To copy paste the bb code on your phone (iphone?) you need to highlight the beginning of the code and then swipe down and off the dialogue box to capture the part that is off the screen then copy/paste. It's a bit tricky but it does work. Thanks @waday for sharing this trick which made my ipad and iphone usable for Flickr!

No problem! I'm just glad I found a trick to make it work. Maybe SmugMug will make it easier to copy/paste the code on an iPhone? I do find it extremely odd that something as simple as that can't be fixed by Flickr?

Flickr blames iPhone and vice versa.

It's a bit of a cop out answer. In my world, if I say "shortly", which I rarely do, that is same day. Anything other than same day, I give a rough expectation on when ie "Thursday" or "early next week"... If someone tells me they'll get something to me "shortly", I usually ask for clarification.

The pork shoulder is still in the Sous Vide, humming away ... the water is at 165F, rendering the pork cooked ... I'm just adding a ton of flavor, vis-a-vis Gary's BBQ sauce, and handfuls of herbs Gary tossed into the mix. Lots of sage this time.

 

[Gary A.]

@ Wade: "Shortly" to Gary means within an hour or two ... otherwise it would be "In the Morning" or "Late Afternoon" or "Thursday a.m.". Gary's life has revolved around deadlines and he is quite specific when he gives notice on stuff.

@Fujidave: That first goal was amazing by Bale. Give thanks to the Liverpool goalie as well for handing Madrid two more goals.

I do agree, but what I now find very sad indeed is, some of the Liverpool fans have been sending the goalie death threats, totally sad imo to be like that.

Does not surprise me at all. In Argentine or maybe it was Brazil ... down south anyway, fan(s) actually murdered their goalie after he scored a goal for the other team. Maybe it was Colombia ... yeah, Colombia.

Gary knows that soccer matches in Europe have gotten more civilized. But Gary remembers a Frenchman describing a visit he had to California. He and his traveling bud were in San Francisco and the decided to join the crowds queuing up for a baseball game. "I couldn't believe it," he said, "parents were bringing children to the game ... families were there!"

I remember many years ago, a player scored an own goal in a world cup game that knocked his team out. He was sent home on the next plane and as soon as it landed he was taken off to the back and shot and killed.
